'In the opening pages of the Research Handbook of Expatriates, Yvonne McNulty and Jan Selmer state two goals for their work: (1) to provide a solid understanding of the field of expatriate studies, and (2) to help readers acquire a cutting-edge understanding of the key issues and findings across a broad area of expatriate research, from scholars who are experts in those areas. In my opinion, the authors have succeeded in accomplishing both goals in this work. This is not to suggest that, after reading the Handbook, one will know everything there is to know about expatriates, the challenges they face, and the research findings about their roles and how they are performed. The reader will certainly know a lot more about these things, but one of the strongest points about this book and the various chapters contained, is the emphasis on where we should go from here. The book provides an excellent base from which any interested scholar can start (which is surely an important contribution), but, in my view, the greater contribution is to point to areas where further research is needed and so help scholars to direct their work. There is neither space nor time to mention all the areas covered in this handbook, but I was struck by the fact that, not only were traditional expatriate topics such as adjustment, performance, and types of expatriates covered in great detail, but that there was also discussion of issues such as safety and security for expatriates, special challenges for LGBTI expatriates, and dealing with millennial expatriates. But even when dealing with more traditional topics such as types of expatriates, I was impressed by the detailed handling of topics that I must admit I never gave much thought to, such as sports expatriates and military expatriates. This new Handbook is essential reading for anyone interested in expatriate research, but I would especially recommend it for scholars who are starting to study expatriates. The McNulty and Selmer edited volume will provide those scholars with a concise history of what has gone on in the past, what is current and important, and where we might go from here. In other words, the book delivers exactly what it was intended to deliver and that is something we cannot always say about any project.'--Angelo DeNisi, Tulane University, US'The Research Handbook of Expatriates is a momentous achievement. McNulty and Selmer have persuaded all the top scholars in the field to write chapters about their respective areas of expertise. Even more importantly, as editors they have made this into a truly coherent and comprehensive handbook that is essential reading for everyone interested in expatriate management. They have also co-authored an excellent chapter on publishing your research that should be compulsory reading for PhD students and early career researchers in any field of study. Highly recommended!'--Professor Anne-Wil Harzing, Middlesex University, UK'The Research Handbook of Expatriates is a comprehensive volume that belongs on the bookshelves of all researchers investigating the field of expatriation and international human resource management.  The Handbook covers scholarly, cutting-edge and important topics affecting research, theory, and practice in global mobility.'--Paula Caligiuri, Northeastern University, US
